I notice they use a class called ImageManager in the following code. What is this class or how do you make it? what is ImageManager?
I saw many examples on various websites and they use this and never explain it or show any code. Looking at the import statemens I guess that it something they always leave out in the code examples.

import android.database.DataSetObserver;

import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

@Override
public void onChanged() {
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

public void onInvalidated() {
notifyDataSetInvalidated();
}
}

mImageManager = ImageManager.getInstance(c);
mContext = c;
mObserver = new MyDataSetObserver();
mImageManager.addObserver(mObserver);
}
